Day 24 of the "24 Days of Tags 2021" challenge with Karen Telfer

Here it is, my Day 24 tag, the final one of the "24 Days of Tags 2021 challenge with Karen Telfer.  I've really enjoyed creating these tags.  There hasn't been anything too taxing and it's been a pleasure to craft because I want to, rather than making something for an occasion. 

I've used Kraft card for the background.  I've used a Waffle Flower sentiment from their "Essential Sentiments" stamp set and the Lavinia Stamps "Mystic Swirl" with Wow! clear embossing ink and their Super Fine Bright White embossing powder heat set to create this tag.

Lavinia Stamps "Fairy Toadstool" - A Magical Wish Card

I have had a thought about making some cards and asking Willow, our 7 year old Grandaughter to write a story about what she can see in the card.  I don't know if this is something she would like to do, but I thought it would give her creative licence to write a little story.

For this card, I have used a Brusho background.  I've used Lavinia Stamps throughout and have stamped in various shades of Versafine Clair inks.  I've added extra touches of colour using a Sakura gold shimmer pen, Posca Pens and a black fine liner. 

I have detailed the Lavinia Stamps I have used below:

Lavinia Stamps "Alana Mermaid" Card

 

This morning I decided to use a stamp that I have rarely used.  The stamp of choice today was the Lavinia Stamps mermaid called "Alana".

I started this card by using four shades of Distress Oxide Inks (Tumbled Glass, Speckled Egg, Weathered Wood and Shabby Shutters), through the Lavinia "Pebble" stencil which created the background design.

I started to stamp the images using the Lavinia Stamps Urchins, Alana, Mystic Swirl, Zen Plant, Forest Spruce and Fish Set, using three shades of Versafine Clair Inks (Twilight, Morning Mist and Warm Breeze).

Finally I added detail with a silver metallic pen and dots of Liquid Pearls. I then mounted the image on to card and stamped the Lavinai Stamps sentiment "Deeper than the ocean".

Lavinia Stamps - Underwater (Small Seahorse) Scene card

It seems ages since I have had a play with my Lavinia Stamps, so decided today was the day to put that right.

I had a small off-cut measuring 3"x3" of the background where I had used a wash of acrylic chalk paint to build up the colour, so decided to use that, rather than have it hanging about.

The colour shouted water scene to me, so I went with that theme.  I stamped the tall "Seaweed" in Versafine Clair "Verdant".

I then stamped the seahorse, which is part of a set called "Sea Creatures" in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.

Using Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink I stamped the "Mystic Swirl", the "Twisted Vine Set" and the hanging "Fairy Hive Set".  

I used a white Posca Pen to add highlights to the air bubbles and a Sakura gelly roll pen to add a little sparkle to the seahorse and the fairy hives.

Lavinia Stamps - New Stamp Release Sample Preview (January 2020) - Aria

Lavinia Stamps have some fabulous new stamps that will be released on their site on Monday 27th January 202.  I have been fortunate to have a play with them to create some promotional samples.

I've used "Aria" the kneeling fairy, her hands are held out waiting to hold something.  I've used an existing Lavinia stamp called "bubbles" to replicate a crystal ball.  

In each corner I have stamped another new design called "Mystic Swirl".  The sentiment is in the existing collection and is called "Once Upon a Dream" all stamping is in Versafine Clair "Chianti" on a gelliplate background.

Lavinia Stamps is always busy.  This week especially so, as there are thirteen new stamps due to be released.  The stamps will be available to purchase from their site from Monday 27th January 2020.

I made this card using three of the new stamps "Words of Spring" and "Vine Flourish" both stamped in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" dark green ink and "Mystic Swirl" stamped in Versafine Clair "Verdant" light green coloured ink.  For this card, I also added touches of copper using a "copper" Liquid Pearl.
